Tiffin Calvert could be the sleeper in 7. They've lost 3 games early in the year, when their starting QB was out. They've been on a roll since then. If they beat Edgerton, and NSP beats Haviland Wayne Trace, the rematch between TC and NSP will be a good one.

Region 25 top 3 are all legit. Don't sleep on the Hornets from East Canton, winners of 7 straight, avg. 39.2 points per game and give up an average of 12.5. Coached by a local coaching legend John "Spider" Miller who has coached the likes of Mike Doss, Reggie Corner Sr., Devin Smith, Gareon Conley, all NFL players or former NFL players.

Hornets 2 losses are against two playoff teams in Lucas (#4 D7 R27) by 3 points, and Rootstown (#1 in D6 R21) by 18 early in the season.

Not everyone can have the toughest schedules. East Canton's schedule is ranked 20th toughest out of 107 teams. NSP is ranked 36th. Cuyahoga Heights is ranked 41st. JFK's is 16th toughest, but I don't see them listed as contenders. Just saying... You can't always pick your schedules for toughness, and while the tougher schedules definitely help a team prep for playoffs it isn't the end all solution to will it all.
